We just finished our new tile design software. If you play with it you will find you can remove areas where no tiles are needed and create just about anything you want. Using the tile removal tool you can create L shapes and other out of the box garage designs. We want your opinion

BTW if you upload your design to Facebook we will give you 10% off your order.:thumbup:

(Excludes sale items and TrueLock PVC Black or Gray.)

Not bad, definitely better.

Thought I would give you a plug since I used your designer for my first floor.

cool, the row and column features are nice

I LOVE those two features and I like being able to replace off of a particular color if I want to see black and gray vs black and white.

Did you try the replace blanks? You can fill the floor instantly and then replace parts of it which is nice for checkers, etc.

I like it. 2 suggestions though.
Default with a real garage size. 15x15 doesn't seem all that useful..
On that, presets would be nice.. "2 Car 20x20" "1 car 10x20" etc..

That is a great idea! I am not sure if the current programming will allow for the presets but we should definitely be able to set say 20x20 as a default

We are working on that. The print function is a no brainer and we are working on the data storage. In today's world of hackers and alike, anytime you store someones information you want to make sure it is completely secure. We are working on a method that protects your privacy while allowing the convenience of being able to recall a design.

I was thinking more US storing it as a .jpg, but yes, you should be able to store it for sales. They design it, then save it for you to use to fulfill an order, or make suggestions for edge tiling.

We are working on something sort of in-between at the moment and having you be able to email yourself the design and the quote. When we are completely finished of course there will be a BUY NOW button :eek:

Nice, a few things,

I like how the price adjusts/adds up the more tiles you lay down.

your white tiles dont look too different than your light grey ones. You may want to make the white tiles 'whiter' for a clearer contrast.

I have used racedeck's designer...towards the end I had to make choices between so many different design subtilties I thought it was easier to just cut/screen save and compare designs rather than save it and lose the other design possibilities. if you have a 'save' function, maybe have the ability to save multiple designs...just a thought...:)
